PinePhone EG25 automatic test failed
02-03-2020, 02:53 PM
I'm in the same situation here, although all automatic tests passed when I got the phone a couple of days ago. Now the factory test gives a fail for EG25.
I have got it working with Ubuntu Touch for a while (booting from MicroSD), but the phone suddenly shut off. Now I get to the Ubuntu Touch loading screen (which looks a bit wierd graphically) for a couple of seconds until it suddenly dies.
I'll try to recapitulate all the things I've done since I got the PinePhone:
1) I removed the battery sticker after removing the battery which was sitting very tight. Had to use a plastic tool but it seemed to work just fine.
2) Booted the preloaded image successfully. All factory tests passed except for the SIM card status (which I was expecting after reading the forums since it's not yet unlocked with the four digit code).
3) I flashed the latest Ubuntu Touch image from the UbPorts download page to a 256 GB MicroSD card.
4) Successfully booted Ubuntu Touch from the MicroSD card. The loading screen looked a bit wierd. Once inside the OS, the SIM card was not recognized (again, as expected), otherwise all seemed fine. After playing around with the settings for a while the phone suddenly died. It happened when I adjusted the screen brightness. Battery showed 65 % left.
5) Tried a couple of times more with the same setup, now crashing at the Ubuntu Touch loading screen.
6) After removing the MicroSD card and running the automatic factory tests again I get a fail on the EG25.
Does anyone have an idea on what I should try next? I really hope I haven't accidentally broken the phone somehow. All suggestions are greatly appreciated.
